Every claim we've considered

Did the City consult the affected neighbourhoods, and do residents oppose the bike lanes?

· Discussed by 14 people · 2 claims

Going ahead

Project engagement records can show whom the City consulted and what participants said, while the claim about most Edmontonians should be dropped unless a representative citywide survey exists.

The engagement record for these routes, including the City's own report on the data and consultation behind them, settles both.

What the outcomes mean

Where it came from
